We are delighted to have received a letter from Joan Appleyard the Chairman of the Hampshire & the Islands Historic Churches Trust to mark the Outstanding Effort by a Church participating for the first time in Ride & Stride.

In this instance they will be giving a certificate to two churches within the Benefice - St Paul, Bisterne and St Peter & Paul, Ringwood who raised £540 and £435 respectively - a great achievement!

The certificates will be presented by Nigel Atkinson, the President and Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire on the evening of 7th May at Winchester Cathedral.

Huge thanks to Roger and Shirley Dewar who organised this event and to everyone who took part. This year's ride will be held on Saturday 14th September - Look out for more information about this coming soon.
